front or back straight?

[Teddy truman]

Where abouts on a R/C track do you like the straight to be.. far side of the track or infront of rostrum?

Infront of Rostrum

The straight should be as close to the drivers as possible for me. I always prefer it there, and I raced oval for 20 years.

I never understood the longest straight as far away from the drivers as you can get, but a lot of tracks do it that way. The car is going as fast as it will go for you, and is as far away from you as it can get.

I'm never comfortable on a track where the long straight is on the back-side of the track, personally.

How about an EPR style layout, where in essence there's two straights, one in front of rostrum and one furtherst from the rostrum.

However, due to the intertwining parts of the track, there's only ever one straight used in a race and the track has many differing variations ensuring many ways that the track can be set up

For me is never in the back, only ever straight in the front.

Always preferred the straight at the Back. More technical in front of the rostrum.

Just like PDA used to do it

Depends on size off track really. Small track I think it's better at the back, but if it's a larger track it's better at the front.
I suppose it also depends on how good you eyesite is aswell!.
